Report: Police have surveillance video of Manziel incident

That report, citing a source with knowledge of the investigation, said police have examined the video of Manziel and Crowley outside Hotel ZaZa in Dallas, where Crowley told a parking attendant she feared Manziel would continue to hurt her. The police also have “other surveillance,” the report said.

Dallas Police released a statement Saturday afternoon saying that they have not made any final determination on whether charges will be filed and that they continue to gather evidence.

“Detectives are continuing with their efforts to fully investigate the facts of this case,” the statement said. “As this remains an on-going investigation, no details of the investigation will be released at this time.”

Crowley told police that she told a hotel parking valet she feared for her life and later had to threaten Manziel with a knife to get him to leave her apartment. A judge granted her a protective order from Manziel.

This is a pretty important development. If, as some have suggested in other Manziel threads, the Dallas PD was inclined to brush this under the carpet, that possibility is now out the window. The Dallas PD has to know that somehow, some way, this tape will eventually become public.

By the way, imagine if last year at this time, someone had asked you to pick the two NFL QBs who would be in serious hot water for bad behavior, Manziel would probably have been the first guy you picked. How many of you, however, would have picked Peyton Manning as the second?

Crowley said they were in her car when Manziel allegedly slapped her on the left side of the car. Unless she had a video camera in the car, there is no video of it. Crowley said a lot of things, including that she attacked Manziel with a knife (but the media never mentions that.)

You should take a page out of Johnny’s play book at try rehab, your addiction/obsession with the Packers isn’t healthy and cause a concern to the people around you, and they probably see its getting worse.

Not taking Manzel’s side on this but could it be possible there’s nothing to see here. If what the girl says is true and video backs it up he should already be locked up. Stranger things have turned out tho be the truth.

So they have a video of the incident. It either shows he assaulted her or it shows he didn’t. What else are they investigating?

It’s possible the video doesn’t shed much light on this incident and they may be using it to check against their stories for any inconsistencies.

It’s also quite possible that this is the same situation as the LeSean McCoy incident in that the person who may be charged, in this case Manziel, can afford a high-priced attorney to get his/her client off.

I do find it interesting that the Dallas Police Department considered the case closed until the news broke and now all of a sudden they are checking out video and questioning witnesses. So what did they do the first time when they considered the case closed–nothing? Sure looks like that doesn’t it.

OK, let’s take something positive away from this. Next time you’re about to criticize some average QB for not being Tom Brady, think about how hard he’s worked to get where he is instead of throwing away his talent without even trying like this guy.

the real loser in this case is the dallas pd; they look criminally negligent; appears they did everything they could to make this go away and more disclosures and public pressure has forced them to do their job

johnny affluenza’s odds of being indicted just ramped exponentially and now if there are no charges, the dallas pd will be buried and johnny will go on without a care
